STEEL PANTHER Guitarist Interviewed
April 13, 2010ThrashHits.com conducted an inteview with guitarist Satchel (real name Russ Parrish; ex-FIGHT) of California rockers STEEL PANTHER in March 2010 during the band's U.K. tour. You can now watch the chat below.
STEEL PANTHER's first collection of original material, "Feel The Steel", was produced by Jay Ruston and was officially released in the U.S. on October 6, 2009.
STEEL PANTHER is the '80s metal/hard rock tribute act formerly known as METAL SKOOL. The four-member act, known for its outrageous stage presence and gargantuan guitar riffs, has been entertaining fans and scores of rock and entertainment VIPs with its raucous antics via L.A.'s longest-running heavy metal show on the Sunset Strip for nearly a decade.
This mythical musical masterpiece has been 20 years in the making, with the band retuning in 2009 to reclaim their rightful place among metal music's heavyweights. Powered by audacious frontman Michael Starr's (real name Ralph Saenz; ex-L.A. GUNS) fearless vocal charge, the group ignites audiences from every walk of life with their unbridled valentine that goes right for the jugular of the heavy metal repertoire. Joining the effervescent Starr are STEEL PANTHER's Stix Zadinia on drums, Satchel on guitar, and bassist Lexxi Foxxx.
As word of STEEL PANTHER's return began to spread around the music community, a who's who of musical artists stepped up to join the band in reclaiming metals place among the top of the music landscape. Allison Robertson of THE DONNAS and Justin Hawkins from THE DARKNESS make an appearance on the STEEL PANTHER mantra number, "Party All Day". ANTHRAX's Scott Ian shows up on "Asian Hooker" alongside SLIPKNOT's Corey Taylor, who also appears on "Eyes Of A Panther" and the first single, "Death To All But Metal".
